Tiger escapes enclosure at Oklahoma City Zoo
A tiger escaped from its enclosure at the Oklahoma City Zoo before being contained Thursday afternoon, CBS affiliate KWTV reports.
Zoo officials issued a "Code Red," which means a dangerous animal is on the loose.
The tiger reportedly became trapped between a fence and the tiger enclosure, according to the station. It has been contained and no one was injured.
